Easy to explain, just think of why run 3 of a superior card easier to get with a bundle and 25 gem sales over an overpriced inferior card that's the most obvious nostalgia bait to ever exist.
Heroes were always an OTK so they needed backrow hate and at the time their first successful deck appeared cosmic cyclone was the best backrow removal in the game. So I guess they put cosmic cyclone in the sample deck since long time hero players already have 3 copies of it
Nah at this very moment MST is better it stops TTH bs that is in every single deck nowadays and is not limit 3 so you can run it with veil to abuse d. draw, the only good generic skill left
And before anyone comes with the "but but spell and traps that float" argument; ok, mention 1 spell/trap card used widely that floats upon destruction (nope buddy force is not used widely)
Mst hitting treacherous is win. Cosmic cyclone hitting treacherous leaves you in fear. Also the cc lp cost is quite big today when your opponent can easily float the field with over 4k dmg. All top decks atm have replaced cc with mst. Those who still use cc they just dont own mst. Simple as f.
Cope. The popular cards list puts CC as the single most used spell card /today/, while this so called “card of all top tier decks” is at the bottom, alongside Cyberload Fusion and Gagagabolt. Take away a backrow and use a skill to draw the card you need to win, MST can’t do that.
Wrong. Most tournament decks have MST instead of cosmic cyclone.
Just because a card is popular doesn't mean it's good or it's the best option, wall of d an example.
Almost no good deck uses a skill with lp requirements anymore only destiny draw, that prefers veil over cosmic cyclone. The most successful ritual decks prefer master of rites II.
There's no good fusion deck using master of fusion.
Wtf is this cope “almost no deck uses skill with lp requirements” look at the skill list there are endless of them. There’s no comparison with wall of d, it’s at the very bottom of the popular trap list, you know, just like “top tier” MST is on the very bottom of spell list, they just barely make it. CC is the very number one, the popular cards list doesn’t care for “tournaments”.
Funny how you specifically missed the no in "almost NO good deck", the only skill with lp requirements used by top decks is d. draw that runs veil instead of cyclone. Onomatoplay, resonance, HHG, the gaia skill, none of those have lp requirement.
Dunno bro what card do you think is better? The card that is popular or the card that is used in a whale competitive environment where said card has to perform against the top meta decks of the format in a weekly basis? Tryhard whales have full sets of cyclone yet they use MST instead for a reason
I dunno about this “runs veil instead of cyclone”. You talk about “top tier decks” and want me to believe one of them uses White Veil? Come on. If “top tier” MST was so good it would be the most popular in ranked too as whales play it.
It won’t “return to the competitive scene” as it never left it. It’s the most popular spell card /today/ and the fourth most used card overall /today/.
Why you people comparing mst and CC? Both of them has different use
And for the OP it might be because the deck builder doesn't want to think too much about floating trap/spell so he prefer to banishing them, as he should have no problem paying the LP cost. Also note that he might be also avoiding monster float effect when plasma got removed
